Capricorn — October 2026 Monthly Overview
Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn — disciplined, ambitious and slow to open up. This page is the month's real sky, computed from the JPL DE421 ephemeris: where the Sun, Moon and planets actually are in October 2026, and the dates the Moon spends in Capricorn. It is a general overview, not a personal reading — personal transits need your birth chart.
